What can I use to seal a few pinholes in my gas tank caused from creasing when denting in my tank last winter? I dont mean around the cap either. Doesnt leak around the cap at all. I siphoned as much of the gas as I could out of the bike. Dented in the tank. Jb welded the few pinholes. Used body filler to smooth out and painted. Tanks sat for weeks with fuel pump out drying. Was fine untill the weather got hot. Started to bubble up in the spots that were jb welded. Saturated the jb weld with gas. Any Ideas besides welding. Not even going there.

 

ya.. welding would be the best option. More JB Weld i guess

 

you mix the JB enough with the hardner, I have not had any problems where mine creased and JB welded it.

 

Jb Weld.has Held A Leak In My Tank For 7 Months, No Problem

 

cut it down to bare metal, clean it with windex or high octane gas.. and jb weld again, there is some other ****, i'll try to think of the name that works better, i think quick steel? should be good

 

YEA QUICK STEEL OR MAGNUM STEEL

 

I used regular gas tank repair....I think its made by Permatex. Its good stuff. I think it dries harder than JB weld, and it cures really fast. It lookslike a roll of putty, but when you mix it up in your hand, it starts to harden within 5 minutes. Its very much like quicksteel, just easier to find at the hardware or auto parts store.

 

AllMetal - best choice. When it dries it is as hard as steel - you can even thread it. I had the same problem when I dented my tank and I got this from a friend that is a professional body man.

 

Thanks a bunch fellas. I think I'll try one of the suggestions other than jb weld. I was thinking about using the gas tank repair stuff when I started this thread. Was wondering if anyone had used it before. Does anyone know if most gas tanks are made of aluminum or some other type of metal?

 

I think bondo would work.. no ?

 

gas will eath threw bondo after a few months, my r6 tank did the same thing i put jb weld it worked like a champ

 

I used Seal-All, which has worked fine. I bought it at Wal-Mart. It was the least expensive and works under pressure areas. They say it repair gas tanks and so far it proves to have worked. You'd have to read the directions, but they say put a layer, then tape (I used duct tape), seal again, and so on. I say give it a try since it's like 3 bucks.

 

i used plastic weld and its working great, my tank blew through jb weld and silicone and bondo.... plastic weld is holding up good cause it can flex with the tank n crap...
